Human Language Technologies (HLT) are among the key information society technologies. They improve the human-computer interface, contribute to extracting useful information from an abundance of texts, support translation from one language to another, or summarize information according to a users needs. In order to create contexts for joint efforts to face major challenges, roadmaps for HLT will help funding agencies, industry, and the HLT community establishing common goals and priorities, and defining intermediate milestones.

This web site is built as part of the ELSNET4 project funded by the EU. It presents several technology roadmaps, which will be continuously updated and unified. You can leave your comments and suggestions in the respective discussion forums.

This is Version 3.0 of the Human Language Technologies (HLT) roadmap system. It is built using Macromedia Flash. To view the roadmaps, both your computer and browser have to support Flash and you might have to install the Flash plugin which should be available from your browser's plugin page.

Version 1.0 of the HTL roadmap system, which was based on Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), is not supported anymore.
